Police in Kerala's Maradu have filed a rape case against actor and ruling CPIM MLA M Mukesh based on a complaint by fellow actor Minu Muneer, who has also accused actor Jayasurya of sexual harassment. The charges in each case are non-bailable. The cases against Mukesh and Jayasurya are among nearly two dozen filed by the police since a flood of sexual assault claims against senior Malayalam actors. The allegations followed the release of a report by a committee inquiring into sexual abuse in the industry.
